Sam looked at all three of them and asked.
"Just who are you guys exactly?"
"Why? Want to know who killed you before you die?" The girl asked, but Sam snorted and said.
"No, I want to know who is being such a pain in the ass."
Sam said and he is surrounded with a golden glow. He activated partial light elent fusion. He doesn’t know who they are exactly, but they are really fast. So, fast that Sam feeling a bit slow when he is using fire elent and even Phantom step.
He couldn’t help but feel marveled.
But he doesn’t have too much ti to play. Anyway, his friends would be coming here in a few minutes after they saw the commotion, they will start vying for the battle.
"Let’s just finish it quickly. My friends would be on their way back and trust they are really fast."
With that, Sam disappeared and slamd his staff at the girl as he reappeared at her back.
All three of them widened their eyes in disbelief as he stared at their companion whose body was cut open.
She rolled on the ground as she squird in pain.
Sam also halted in tracks for a second. There is a scar on her body caused by the sharp light elental strike with the staff. But that is not what surprised him. There seems to be a corrosive effect.
All this while, when he attacked the first man, he was able to heal himself easily.
But now, there is no healing effect and there seed to an intense corrosive effect applied on their backs.
When Sam was in a daze, the two others launched an attack and when Sam dodged, they didn’t followup and just dragged their companion.
One of them took out a dagger and cut the flesh around the scar and then only the skin started regenerating.
"What are you guys?" Sam asked as he looked at them and started guessing.
"You are Vampires aren’t you."
All three of them looked at him at the sa ti with stunning expression.
"No wonder. I already guessed as much but didn’t confirm it. Not attacking in the mornings, your powers must have been severely suppressed, the sentient undead creatures that are loading the catapults and even the undead beasts, I did expect as much. I only thought I would et you guys when I ca to the undead realm, but here you are getting here to get your faces slapped."
As soon as Sam finished, all three of them stood up and looked at him with hateful gazes.
"You learned too much. You shouldn’t have been so smart, now it is bringing you to your death."
As soon as they spoke, their bodies started changing a bit, their canines turned sharpers and their pupils turned red. Their skin turned paler and finally, their nails also extended.
They are oozing blood and death energy.
"Since you already knew who we are, we can fight you without reservations. Be proud that you are dying in hands of the vampire nobility. Not many could get this chance. In fact, I might take you to be my servant."
The girl spoke and all three of them made their move.
Sam was dumbfounded by their speed. They are almost as fast as him. They are like blurry shadows as they tore through the air and launched attacks on him.
The first man is launching darkness curses, but the curses are all in blood-red color. The second man is launching blood-red flas, and the woman is attacking with blood-red ice.
All their attacks are amplified with blood energy.
Sam even observed that blood is seeping out of their body and rging with the elental attacks. Sam is only focused on dodging as he couldn’t find an opening. The three of them are fast and coordinated excellently.
If not for the fact, he is faster he would have died.
Sam defended and dodged like crazy, he is feeling overwheld. He looked outside as he waited for his friends to arrive.
He felt that sothing wrong as they should have arrived by now due to the amount of chaos he created, but they didn’t, he activated his eye technique and looked around. He was stumped for a second and almost got hit.
There is a formation around his house and it seems to be a high-level concealing formation.
It is at least made by a Pre-transcendent stage cultivator. And even for Sam, it would take around an hour to destroy. He started searching for the formation disc. He is certain that is made that way because there are no transcendent stage cultivators in the enemy ranks.
But he couldn’t find it. He now realized that he wouldn’t be getting help from the friends and he halted in his tracks and blocked an attack before taking a deep breath.
The only girl in the group is the one who is most angry as she suffered so much with that one successful attack and she lunged at him with her palm extended. The nails are like the claws of a beast and could easily rip his flesh apart.
But didn’t dodge this ti, right before she could land an attack small red crystalline pieces flew out and ford a thing wall taking the brunt of the attack.
The wall collapsed by the attack is also negated. That didn’t stop there and those crystalline pieces launched themselves at her and tried to cut her into pieces.
They are all moving independently. When the girl jumped back and dodged as Sam once again made his move, the red crystalline scales are all revolving around him.
These are the scales of blood mutants all of those scales combined to beco Sam’s new gadget.
It is both a defensive and offensive tool he made with a lot of research.
They are all individual things, but they can also connect according to his will and form different shapes. Just like how Sam managed to block the attack with a curtain.
Sam let out all the scales and just ignored the other two as he completely focused on the girl.
The two n are trying to attack from the sides. But the scales extrely slippery. They are not fast, but they stuck close to Sam and every attack that ca at him was being blocked as the scales moved and ford different shapes. Once in a while, a couple of scales shot towards the two attackers when they got close and managed to make a few cuts here and there.
Whenever they punched the shields ford with scales, the scales just collapsed and cut through their skin and arms and reassembled for the next attack.
The attack was not significant at the start, but it sure as hell annoying.
While the scales kept the two of them busy, Sam just dealt with the girl. Now that she is alone even with her speed, Sam made her feel like a little girl hunted by a beast.
Sam attacked ruthlessly, every attack was aid at a vital part. Even when she dodged, she couldn’t avoid it completely.
There are several scars on her body corroding her skin.
The light elent seems to be the bane of her existence.
And soon, she reached her last legs.
Sam increased the strength and stabbed the staff straight through her chest as he let the light elent grow rampant.
The two vampires went crazy as they lunged at Sam. But Sam didn’t care. The scales really did their work properly.
They are extrely useful.
The girl couldn’t take it anymore and sprawled on the ground as dark corrosive lines appeared all over her body and skin.
Sam didn’t care much and just lunged backward as he focused on one of the two n.
The scales completely focused on the third person.
Now, they are not just defending anymore. They circled around him at an incredible speed as they started cutting through. The scars kept on increasing and even the armor that man is wearing is completely gone.
When they noticed that the situation is going sour, they couldn’t take it anymore and they took out so tokens and crushed it.
They turned into a black puff of smoke as one of them held the girl and disappeared from the spot.
The formation also disappeared as Sam looked at the black puffs of smoke disappearing into the night.
He imdiately collapsed to the ground and his nose started bleeding. His fusion mode was deactivated and the scales that ca to him disappeared into the storage.
This new gadget Sam made is actually of higher grade and it stressed him out whenever he used it, that is why he didn’t let it stay in open.
This is actually due to so silly mistake he made when making it.
He wanted to achieve this desired effect, this collapsibility and assembling ability and at the sa ti, give them the ability to float around and attack, defend all at the sa ti.
This all ca at a cost. But only after making it did he realize that he overdid it. He enchanted spirits in each and every scale and constructed spiritual imprints for each of them and even established a combined link for the spirits so that they could feel like a single entity.
He etched hundreds of inscriptions in a miniature level on all the scales and fed countless spirits full of soul energy to these spirits. He used many techniques of soul necromancy and all of these spirits are connected to his mind.
There around a hundred and twenty scales he used and he is controlling one hundred and twenty spirits. If they are low-grade spirits, the required effects wouldn’t have been achieved, but the stress would have been less.
He should have let the lowgrade spirits grow slowly, but he didn’t do that. He just had to increase the strength of the spirits and now every ti he used it, he would be consuming large amounts of ntal strength placing imnse stress on his brain.
He slowly closed his eyes and went to sleep, but now before shooting a fireball into the air with the last of his strength.
His friends who are on various ends of the town saw the signal and ca running towards him.
When they saw him still breathing and making sure that they are no significant injuries. They shifted him to a new house and let him sleep.
